UniProt Comments
RNA-dependent direct polymerase involved in the production of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). Required for the biogenesis of endogenous siRNAs of 24 nucleotide which derive from heterochromatin and DNA repeats such as transposons or endogenous gene tandem repeats, such as repeats present in FWA gene. Involved in transcriptional gene silencing (TGS). Component of the RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) silencing pathway that utilizes siRNAs to guide DNA methyltransferases to asymmetric cytosines. Involved in control of flowering time through RdDM of FWA locus. Required for reception of long-distance mRNA silencing in the shoot. Required for the formation of telomeric siRNAs and the RNA-dependent DNA methylation of asymmetric cytosines in telomeric (5'-CCCTAAA-3') repeats.
